Dear President Trump, It's Mother's Day here in the US. You might have missed the memo. I'm not sure but since you were golfing today, almost certainly without Melania, it seems as though you either didn't know or didn't care. But maybe I'm not giving you enough credit. Maybe you and Barron made her her … Continue reading Making Melania breakfast on Mother’s Day and other tales

If Hillary had won…
Dear President Trump, It remains to be seen whether there will be hard evidence confirming that you and your campaign colluded with Russia to throw the election (or elections). It's looking that way but we'll see. Should it come to pass that such evidence is uncovered I will be hard pressed to say which downstream … Continue reading If Hillary had won…
Then there’s gerrymandering…..
Dear President Trump, I sure wish you would surprise me and do or say something I could get behind. I'm so tired of feeling dismayed and disgusted by you and your administration.

You see, I set a rule … Continue reading Sometimes the only thing I can do is pray
Who are you keeping happy?
Dear President Trump, I may be becoming overly cynical, but I can't help but think that whoever released two pages of your 2005 federal tax return was hoping that it would function as a distracting shiny object that would get us off the difficult and complicated topic of health care reform. Now, if you had … Continue reading Who are you keeping happy?
The girl who overdosed at school
Dear President Trump, I keep thinking about her, wondering whether she is ok. I don't know this girl but I've spent a lot of time with her in my head since Friday afternoon when my daughter came home from school and told me that her friend found another girl passed out on the bathroom floor … Continue reading The girl who overdosed at school
